Emile Pinet Poet Verse

Quiescent

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted,
as lava splashed over its cauldron!
                          The quiescent
                            Goddess awakes!

What once was a placid pool of liquid lava,
has morphed into a geyser of magma.
And it's ejecting molten plumes of rock
high into the atmosphere, lighting up the night.

        When Gaia flows into the sea,
        is she giving birth to the land?

                          Time contradicts;
                            permanency.
